After recently updating to 1.7.10-1 of the Cygwin library I have noticed that
the invocation of "getitimer()" in my applications is now failing all the time.
The following program shows the result:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <errno.h>
int
main(
int arc,
char **argv)
{
struct itimerval timer ;
int err = getitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &timer) ;
if (err != 0) {
printf("getitimer failed: %d, \"%s\"(%d)\n", err, strerror(errno),
errno) ;
}
}
When compiled with:
gcc -o gtmr -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L -std=c99 -g3 -Wall gtmr.c
Executing the result gives:
getitimer failed: -1, "No error"(0)
with various permutation of compiler flags not changing the result.
The same program on a colleague's box where 1.7.9 is installed runs without any
output.
I'm curious if anyone else has seen a problem here. I suspect I'm doing
something wrong, but this has been working for quite some time in the past and
getitimer() is petty mundane stuff.
